WALTHAM LAW CHAMBERS - UK Immigration Lawyers in London

A UK Sponsor Licence is the legal gateway to hiring skilled workers from overseas — and getting the application right first time matters. We manage the full process, from eligibility checks and document preparation through to Home Office submission and post-approval compliance. We also support licence renewals, prepare businesses for compliance audits and provide urgent legal help if your licence has been suspended or revoked.

Securing a UK work visa involves far more than completing an online form. Our immigration lawyers verify your Certificate of Sponsorship, confirm you meet the current salary threshold and build a complete, compliant application on your behalf. We also advise on Global Talent visas for exceptional individuals and Global Business Mobility visas for multinational employees relocating to the UK.

Being separated from your spouse, partner or family is one of the hardest situations a person can face — and navigating UK family visa rules makes it harder still. We handle spouse visa applications, unmarried partner visas, fiancé visas and family visa extensions, making sure you meet the income requirements and that your application tells the right story. If a previous family visa was refused, we advise on your strongest options for appeal or reapplication.

ILR gives you the right to live and work in the UK permanently — with no time restrictions on your stay. Our solicitors advise on eligibility across all ILR routes, including the Skilled Worker route, spouse and family route, long residence and more. We prepare a thorough, evidence-backed application and keep you fully informed at every stage of the process.

Applying for British citizenship is the final chapter of the UK immigration journey and one of the most significant decisions of your life. We check your naturalisation eligibility across all qualifying routes, help you prepare for the Life in the UK test and manage the complete citizenship application from initial submission through to your ceremony. We make sure nothing is missed.

A Home Office refusal is not the end of your case. Our immigration lawyers read your refusal letter in detail, identify whether the decision contains a caseworker error and advise on the most effective route forward — whether that is a formal Administrative Review, an appeal to the Immigration Tribunal or a fresh application with stronger evidence. We handle refusals across all visa categories.
